Responsiblity as the First Generation of Digital Era
Whose information is whose? I have spent the last ten years, or one third of my life, searching for answers to this metaphysical question. While I have conducted extensive research on financial information technology and policy, paradoxically, the deeper I go, the more questions and complexity I discover.
My research interests revolve around how current legal systems and theories on information ownership and related technologies should change in Information Age. I am interested in how to resolve disputes over undefined legal, technological, and economic issues on digital information ownership in various contexts.
The reason I pay attention to the conflicts over digital information is that they are inevitable and ubiquitous, since we are not prepared enough for the new paradigm while digitization is becoming prevalent in every single sector of our society. Unless we dedicate ourselves to working on this issue, the conflicts will be uncontrollable in the near future. It is our generation's responsibility to take appropriate initial steps in establishing information and communication technology policy, because no generation before ours has experienced this new paradigm. Since our decisions will have an extensive and long-term impact on future generations, we should make every effort to build a solid foundation on which well-considered policies can be made.
